Title: Sold my VR6 and got a Skoda
Post by: Burnsy on 14 August 2005, 23:18
The VR6 was starting to cost me money so i decided to get something new.
I was mulling over the Mk 4 4Motion but having owned a Mk 4 1.8 T before i thought it would just feel the same but with more power.
So ive bought a Skoda Octavia VRS with 180 bhp on tap  :wink: and soon to be 221 BHP with a remapped ecu using Revo technic.
Theres plenty of room in it as ive got 3 growing kids and after driving it and reading the forums i just had to have it.
Its feels so much more respnsive then the Vr6 but i will miss the sound of the Vr6.
Also the handling is spot on, no more body roll which i feel is the only fault with the Vr6.
Ill post some pics soon if im allowed  :laugh:
